I have just been reading a thread in the flickr forums where someone was feeling uninspired about what they saw as ‘nothing good to photograph’ – someone suggested they didn’t have to think about anything, and that ‘the whole point of lomography’ as they put it, was to ‘just shoot’. Think Different, SEE different, shoot different! Oh boy. The first misunderstanding that occurred here was that because the post was in a Diana+ group, the respondent assumed using a plastic camera equated to the photographer having the whole lomography-type philosophy of photography going for them. Contrary to the respondents viewpoint I think that whole point of ‘lomo’, or rather a large part of the point of the lomographic society international of it is to sell LSI products. There is nothing wrong with that of course, they are a business, and importantly, promote analogue photography – all good – but to take any of their ’10 rules’ too literally may not give you the greatest photos.
